Healthy recipes even kids like
It's a commonly held belief that food
that's good for you doesn't taste like much.
If it's really yummy it's fattening, sinful or
both.
And if it's good for you, the kids won't
like it. Rural Voice invites you to challenge
that assumption with recipes, collected
from staff members, that are healthy and
very tasty too.
So far healthy food the kids will like (and
some recipes that are simple enough for
them to make themselves) read on! Next
month the March Rural Voice will feature
recipes using that gold commodity. Ontario
Pork. If you have some favourites, send
them along to Rural Voice, Box 10, Blyth.
